The {Little} Mad Hatter

Bryan and Wil had fun when Bryan was getting Wil ready this morning!

Playing in the Dishwasher

"Isn't this always one of the best places to play, Mom?" Luckily, this doesn't happen each and every time....:)

Outside Fun

Here are just two pictures, one from last week and from yesterday. Wil was on his third pair of clothes when we went puddle-playing/sitting/jumping....:)

Valentine's Weekend 2009 Part 1

For Christmas, Bryan gave me a Valentine's Weekend in Nashville's Opryland Hotel, put on by Michael W. Smith. He invited everyone to come see his home town (since he visits everyone else's on tours). The weekend included tickets to The Friday Night Opry, Valentine's Dance, viewing of his son's (Ryan) short films (C2), sessions by his parents and John and Beverly Sheasby, comedian Bob Norman (I think that was his name), first viewing of "A New Hallelujah" DVD, Matthew West Concert, autograph signing, touring his Tour Bus, Valentine's Dinner and concert, and a worship service on Sunday before departure. WHEW, it was a wonderfully fun weekend--YES, even Bryan thought so! So, here are some of our pictures! I hope you enjoy...almost as much as we did!

Michael's debut on the Grand Ole Opry! He sang three songs: Friends, Love of My of Life, and There She Stands/Amazing Grace
Enough said! Okay, kidding...... YES, I was back as a teenager in my heart. I thought I was going to pass out.... It was THRILLING! AND, I think I'm looking pretty calm!:)

Wil's "New" Kitchen

We picked up Aunt Belinda's kitchen at Granna and Gramps' for Wil to play with. He LOVES it! The pantry, oven, phone.....
